Anyone who has experienced outbursts of anger or a romantic overture knows that eyes can be very expressive.
According to a study by Adam Anderson of Cornell University, the eyes are the mirror of our souls that perfectly express our feelings. In addition to the eyes themselves, the position of the eyebrows, the location of the wrinkles near the eyes, as well as on the bridge of the nose, play an important role.
A new study found that wide-open eyes are associated with emotions such as fear and awe, while narrowed eyes signify feelings such as disgust and suspicion. Narrowing the eyes concentrates our vision, blocking out light and allowing us to pay closer attention, while open eyes widen our field of vision.
We interpret a person's emotions by analyzing the expression in their eyes - a process that began as a universal response to the environment and social environment around us, and has evolved to better convey our deepest emotions, according to this study. In addition, the article, published in the journal Psychological Science, included research material from the University of Colorado, Boulder.
